ELAHIM: 
{ehl-ah-eem’} a masculine, plural noun. The plural of Elah. Found in the Hebrew Scriptures, it is the noun most often translated into the English word “God”. Unfortunately, the word “God” does not carry the same meaning as Elahim.
“God” as a noun may have lost any real meaning of its own. Most often “God” takes the meaning imposed by the person, priest, preacher, or religion using the word. All of us have a definition of “God”. A god can be made out of stone, metal, wood, paint, or a personal concept or idea. A person can be a god, in the minds of other people. Too often, the existence of “god” depends upon our belief. The word for God in Greek was attributed to a pantheon of gods, not just one god.
Having studied both Hebrew and Greek, I found that Hebrew, by far, is the best “Theological” language. Nothing else comes close. Greek tends toward philosophy. It has one word for “God”: “theos.” Whereas Hebrew can have hundreds of names. The basic names are El, Elah, and Elahim. And virtually an unlimited number of names can be created by combining “El” with other words. Elijah, Elisha are examples. Elijah, however, is pronounced “Ehl-ee-yah-hoo” in Hebrew.
However, can we truly say we understand the real meaning of Elahim? The word really refers to a Kingdom of Elah or Mighty Ones. According to the Scriptures multiple millions of powerful beings inhabit the Kingdom of Elah. Elahim established a connection with humanity from the beginning:
In the beginning Elahim created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1Elahim said, “Let US make man in OUR image and after OUR likeness.”
Genesis 1:26
Elahim contains Beings, some with very great and important jobs, who plan and do great things and who serve as powers, messengers and judges. The Scriptures are full of descriptions about Elahim. In the Domain of Elah are “thousands upon thousands and ten-thousand times ten-thousand” messengers (the meaning of “angels”). There are almighty (with unlimited power) beings such as, The Ancient or Head of Days, the Lord of Spirits, the Chosen one who was given a name, 24 Elders, specially chosen armies, beings who control the universe and activities on earth, and beings with special tasks like helping us get through life. The list goes on. In the New Testament the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven are the same as the Kingdom or Domain of Elah. When the New Testament is translated into Hebrew this is how it reads.
Even though we may not know about Elahim and this connection or even believe that there is such a thing, the existence of Elahim is not created or sustained by our knowledge, religion, or belief. The connection exists because Elahim made and sustains it. When we understand it, our life and existence depends upon The Elahim Connection — not the other way around.
What The Elahim Connection is not
If you were to go to a web search site like Google and enter the keywords “Elohim Connection”, you might be surprised, as I was, to see some weird stuff: connections to the Incas, Easter Island, UFOs, Elohim City in Oklahoma, photographs of strange appearing rituals, channeled messengers. There is enough stuff there to scare off most people.
Why an “Elahim Connection”?
I chose the words “Elahim Connection” simply because it seemed to be the most succinct way to express what appears to be the “spine” of Scripture. I started with the word “Elohim” only to find out later that this was not helpful, even though the word is the most popular transliteration. “Elahim” is closer to the Hebrew when you consider that three of the letters are ancient Hebrew vowels – not consonants. The words Elah and Elahim help understanding. The relationship between Elah and Elahim becomes very clear.
If there was a word in the English language that could communicate the same understanding as “Elahim“, then I might use that. But there isn’t. Using the plural “Gods”, doesn’t work either. The reason is there are some beings in Elahim who would refuse our worship because of their rank and because “for a little while” we have been made lower than them!
What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him for a little while [marg.] lower than the angels [messengers]; you crowned him with glory and honor and put everything under his feet. In putting everything under him [mankind], God [Elah] left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at preset we do not see everything subject to him [mankind]. But we see Jesus [Eyahushuah] who was made for a little while [marg.] lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor!
Hebrews 2:6-9: quoting from Psalm 8:4-6
Without Elahim, frankly, there would not be Scriptures. The fact a body of material called Scriptures does, in fact, exist, is really a testimony to the existence of Elahim.
People may not be offended by saying we have a “connection with God.” But would they at the same time consider it blasphemy to say we have a connection with Elah and Elahim: the Hebrew words that the English speaking people translate so freely with the singular noun “God?”
This problem stems from the popular concept that “God” implies monotheism (our favorite religion) and a somewhat valid translation for the Hebrew “Elah” but not so for Elahim. And in that context, Christian religions try to explain a “trinity” of “Gods”. They sing: “God in three persons, blessed Trinity.” Why not sing “God in countless millions, blessed Elahim?” That, at least, is closer to what the Scriptures say.
The word “Elahim” implies polytheism! Read in your Bible Genesis 6:1-4? Also read Hebrews 2:10-11. Can you explain it?
The original theology of the Israelites, for example, may have envisioned Yahweh as one god among many. One of the Hebrew words used in the Bible to describe the God of Israel is Elohim, a plural noun meaning “gods.”
Jonathan Kirsch, “God Against the Gods”
What does the polytheism implications of Elahim really mean — for you and me?
Solving Mysteries
Research reveals something completely unique: the existence, identity, power, love and purpose of One who is greater than everything else that exists — including Elahim! Elahim, according to the Kabbalah, is a manifestation of the One — the One who has neither beginning or end of days: the Deathless One: Elah. What does this mean?
This is a mystery.
Another phrase in the Hebrew Scriptures is YHWH Elahim, translated as “Lord God”. This seems to say YHWH is from Elahim as though Elahim is a family name. This is expanded in other phrases translated as “Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel”, which means “YHWH of Armies, the Elahim of Israel.”
However, using “YHWH” or “Yahweh” or “Jehovah” to transliterate, or “Lord” to translate the Tetragrammaton
hides important scriptural prophecies. The real pronunciation of the Name, believed to be unknown, is prophesied to be revealed along with the depth of the meaning of all the Names, before the close of this age.
Leonora Leet, in her book, “The Secret Doctrine of the Kabbalah, Recovering the Key to Hebraic Secret Science,” wrote, after much discussion on the subject:
Beginning from the premise that the Tetragrammaton letters were not converted to vowels but were always three long vowels, the original full pronunciation can be unequivocally given as EYAHUWAH.
However, the sound of the Name was secretly kept in the Hebrew pronunciation of the name Elijah (EL EE AH OO) for centuries and can be known today! (See above) The Name is made of three Hebrew vowels, not consonants. And the Name was to be sung ["ee - ah - oo - ah"] in prayer and during Temple services, particularly at the time of the daily sacrifices in the evening and morning. Hence, substitutes, like those above, are weak and meaningless!
Here is what EYAHUWAH says (Isaiah 52:5-6):
And all day long my name is constantly blasphemed. Therefore my people will know my name; therefore in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I.
And in another place speaking to the people of all the Nations of Israel (Hosea 2:17-18):
“In that day,” declares EYAHUWAH, “you will call me ‘my husband’; you will no longer call me ‘my master’ [Lord or literally 'Baali']. I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips; no longer will their names be invoked.”

the main word for God as in yhwh is elohim not elahim
The main words, which means the “most popular”, is not the point here. Polls only verify opinions, not facts about the subject. If “John Doe” received the best rankings in a poll for President, that in no way affirms that he is, in fact, the best. He might be good at convincing people “he is their man” but all bets are off if he wins.
The Scriptures translation uses “Elah” as the name for the One, but uses “Elohim” as the plural. Therefore, it makes more sense for me, to use Elah and Elahim. Both are valid Names. And in Hebrew, these are the most accurate pronunciations, regardless of either tradition or popular contexts.
But spelling and pronunciation of transliterations means nothing. It is the actual ancient Hebrew meaning of the Names that carries the truth.
